The questions are usually out in July-August, but in any case think about "Why Wharton? Why now?" - it should be there in some form or another.

Essays seem to be relatively tough compared to last year. For essay 1, though the question doesn't ask for career progress, do you think its a good idea to go through career progress and then discuss goals?
